This world we live in - and I am not only talking about the cyberworld, - is turning into a place where every-single-thing gonna be monopolized by somebody
Yep.. Just my luck.. The people who do not agree with me will probably have a monopoly on the/. Mod Points!!
Part of the job of a captain is to see to the safety of the crew and passengers. He failed at that.
failed at saving less than 1% of the occupants of the vessel..
Occupants who may have been deceased before any hero could have saved them.
If we are to suppose that everyone should be, or could be, a hero if in the captains situation surely it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to suppose that not every single person even could have been saved in the first place.
Yes. It is possible that evacuating earlier might have aided in the chances for everyone to survive.
Just as well, if the boat didn't even get that close to the dangerous rocks.. This wouldn't even be a story and there wouldn't have been a survival rate to discuss.
I hearken back to a bit of dialogue from a classic film:
Juror #7: I honestly think the guy's guilty. Couldn't change my mind if you talked for a hundred years. Juror #8: I'm not trying to change your mind. It's just that... we're talking about somebody's life here. We can't decide it in five minutes. Supposing we're wrong? Juror #7: Supposing we're wrong! Supposing this whole building should fall down on my head. You can suppose anything! Juror #8: That's right.
Despite the actions of the captain the odds of surviving this incident were about 99.2%
If he had gone down with the ship I have to wonder if it could possibly get any better than a 99% survival rate.
Clearly the people involved in the evacuation, even without the management of a ships captain, were very capable.
While responsibility for the ship and the passengers remains on his shoulders of the captain I wonder if the idea of the captain going down with the ship has become a bit antiquated.
Considering the dramatic success of the apparently well trained and well drilled crew in getting the staggering majority of people off of the boat safely it seems to me that a captain urging them on is, at least in this case, a frivolity and a hearken back to a possibly bygone conception of the role of a captain of a vessel.

I think the idea of models for education that have been around for a long while apparently arent meeting the peoples needs.. the popularity of khan and mitx is just but one example...
the 'threat' of people learning more stuff only exists if your business relies on selling people an education..
In southern Africa, countries have followed the philosophy of sustainable use. They have issued permits to sport hunters to kill a limited number of elephants that are pre-selected according to factors like age and sex. They cannot shoot breeding animals...
The result is that in Namibia, South Africa and Botswana, elephant populations are well-stocked and healthy, while incidences of poaching have been kept to low levels.
this is not just random poaching with no goal.
i think people who dont hunt might not realize how much paperwork is involved.. its a lot of thought out work by conservation programs to make sure populations are kept in balance with their environment and other species..
most any elephant killed in africa by rich foreigners is killed as part of conservation efforts and for many other reasons that scientists biologists and experts on various habitats deem required.
Instead of letting this culture/nation, Iran, Naturally develop their science to a high level, nuclear weapons, allowing them to flourish much as the USA has..
the US and the big guys on the anti nuke front are actively SQUELCHING the scientific advancement of Iran.. Pushing them further into the past because USA et al wont alllow them to develop naturally (or however iran develops..russian scientists or not)
I personally find it reprehensible that a nation would fight so hard to stifle the scientific understanding and development of a nation/culture/anyone.
The Reverse Prime Directive!! Don't let them get Warp technology! ITS DANGEROUS!
you could theoretically use second life to get cash from your credit card without paying any outrageous fee or interest..... well at least in the past you could
It seems to me that a well edited summary of the story might give us an idea of what Spear Phishing is.. at least, why is it different than normal phishing?

Oh!! The Horror!!
You know what bothers me about that? It's not that people died there. It's that they're profit from those deaths.
if that bothers you.. just wait until you find out how much the funerary industry profits off of death..

It has been reported that certain ford mustangs allow the owner to leave the doors unlocked and the keys in the ignition..
a large recall is expected once the ford motor company finishes studying the problem.
